That is _really_ good.  I've never liked those pusher concept aircraft - they look ... unbalanced ... kinda, to me.  Add to that the difficulty in bailing out - Pilot Puree, anyone? - and no,not for me.  However, the French have always had mad concept aircraft, so this kinda fits in, IMHO. 

Please don't get me wrong - I like French aircraft.  Their aircraft have always had a "cool" factor that few American aircraft can approach.  Not to mention that they go their own way, and stuff the rest of the world ... :)

Thanks for the kind comments. Now what can I fit floats to next? Or turn into a flying boat, having been inspired by PR19's P6M...?

any aircraft can be improved by fitting floats (or a hull)

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Congratulations from France here... There is no offense in imagining we would buy a foreign design, this one seems so good ;) :thumbsup:

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.
